Fighting to revive his political prospects, Sen. Marco Rubio is returning to the presidential campaign circuit and beefing up a political organization that could lay the groundwork for a White House bid.
In the clearest sign yet of his interest in a presidential run, the Florida Republican plans to visit New Hampshire on Friday, his first appearance in an early-voting state in more than a year. He is set to headline a pair of fundraisers in Republican-rich counties and meet with local officials, efforts that will grant him an audience with activists and donors in the home of the nation's first presidential primary.

I, for one, don't know where he is coming from, or where he is going. I don't see that he has a clear vision for the country, let alone the job he now holds.
I think his vision includes converting millions of illegal aliens into welfare-sucking, Obamacare-using Democrat voters.
They need the base to win. I think
They can’t win the base if they work for amnesty without an unprecedented and complete reversal/repentance
If they listen to the media on the demise of the tea party, they’d be wiser (understatement) to observe the IRS hearings
And put 2 & 2 together
Historically, it was generally accepted that Senators would make lousy Presidents. History has proven correct in that.
History will be proven wrong if Ted Cruz becomes POTUS. Ted has the chops and is doing all the right things to prove his conservative cred.
Poor Marco still has that Gang of 8 stench on his shoes. Oh, did he ever get played by McCain and Schumer.
Well, to start with, what he tells the English speakers is totally opposite what he tells Spanish speakers.. :/
I agree with you. He got played by McCain and Shummer; he might have been the one who would have put rules to stop the invasion of the US before anything else on that issue. I remember distinctly that Schummer was speaking for Rubio before Rubio was speaking for himself about the committee.
All of these conservatives need to study US history from the Eisenhower presidency up to current events. They don't seem to have the feel for what our foeign policy should be, from an historical, global perspective. Sometimes I think Rubio has really good instincts and McCain and Schummer took him down on purpose because of that.....leave that FL option for Jeb Bush.
Jeb Bush, I could never support. Rubio? Yeah, probably.
History since WW2 is that a good President would be a general or a gov who has lead the SAG. The rest of them over the past 70 years....not so much.
Red Hampshire always gets it wrong.
Actually, Eisenhower was one of the WORST of the presidents in my book.
Ted will have to win without Red Hampshire; no chance there.
Amnesty-Rubio dreams of giving a bilingual concession speech to Hillary.
There are negatives, sure. But I suspect in retrospect the good is pretty good, in terms of the arc of history.
Fluff is a problem for Rubio Working with the dems ch Schumer no less is a complete deal breaker
That he doesn’t know that closes the deal
Any one of them can count on the Romney non voters times two in my opinion not voting for them. Those are the people who know amnesty and any other stupid idea that W pushed through are up there with the damage bring done now
They also are not going to vote for someone who refuses to represent them. They can stay home and just watch Hillary do that
And Rubio et al are pretending the tea party broke up. And that they did solution of a fizzling idea
They should take a peek at the Lois Lerner deal
Duh duh. Just duh
